“Come to Mavericks at Mayfield Tavern in Lapeer on Tuesday. Poker, food, amazing people. It will turn out to be the best day of your week.”

Mayfield Tavern regular
“Maverick Poker League is a real gas to play Hold 'Em. It's the most fun you can have with your clothes on!”
Stephen T.
Maverick Poker League player
“I joined the Maverick Poker League almost 2 years ago and have enjoyed myself immensely. What a great group of people to hang out with, and everyone knows how to play poker. It has to be a good league because I drive an hour and a half just to go play with all my poker buddies. I also had a great time going to Vegas with several of my friends — not once but twice. Glad I joined.”
Lewis I.
